About Me

.. hhhmm, i think i kinda did this in interests. to tell you about me would be to tell you of what i interest and what interests me. little things, simple things. i spent a long while yesterday watching ants carry a leaf. my favorite season is the fall on the eastcoast and summer on the west. i think i would like spring in ireland and summer in the greek isles. my fingers often find their way to my scars and i like the smell of burnt cheese. sometimes i don't know the difference between thought and deed, what i dreamt and what i meant. i don't know if i mind. my voice is big and i really laugh. on sundays i make a big breakfast with my girls, listen to music with the soles of my feet, and drink strong coffee under the trees. i like to knit, but i'm not that good. fire dancing and belly dancing seem like a good way to spend some time. not a hippy, but inclined towards organics. believer in change and cranky procrastinator. about me. by the time you read this it may no longer be true.

My Interests

life and living it. i heart the smell of the atlantic and grapefruit and avocado salads. there is a particular type of weather, just short of fog, but heavier than mist where the world swims and 'tendrils' becomes a way of describing your day. i feel at home there. peeling is a favorite pastime of mine. skin, fruit, layers, and levels. i think that uncomfortable is important and try to spend some time there. my life is made of extremes, but i've tried to not be so extreme about it. reading, writing, the great outdoors, costumes, travel, hairdying, mohawks, music except for new country and ballads, cigarettes with coffee, late night talks, doing nothing on a nice day, debauchery, laughing til it hurts like hell, getting fired up about something that's worth it, meditation, spirituality, being with friends, being alone, and the list goes on and on and on....

I'd like to meet:

what am i supposed to say to this? i would like to meet interesting, intelligent, sassy, well balanced passionate nutballs. who wouldn't? i don't want to meet any psychotic energy vampires or depressed sissypants. yeah, i'm not so good at answearing these questions.

Music:

oh come on! is anybody else tired of these questions? is anybody really going to read through this list anyways? look, i probably like some of the same music that you do and i probably like some that you don't. neat huh? i will say that i have many talented friends and i'm always up to go to a good show and support the local talent. sometimes i listen to music at home and pretend that i'm the person singing and that i wrote this great song that everyone is just enthralled with. that's pretty fun too....

Movies:

I kind of want to go to a movie right now. any ideas?

Television:

no thanks

Books:

alright, i'm obsessed with books. not just reading them...i love to have them, to look at shelves of them, to know where to find things in them, to lend them, to have people recommend them, just to smell them, i love the sound of pages, and the feeling of reading with only one eye open because i'm too tired to keep going and too interested to stop.

Heroes:

catie clinton, my cousin anne ......and anyone with the strengh to be true to themselves and the kindness to help others do the same. folks that really give a shit, especially when they have that crusty around the edges 'i don't give a fuck' facade. it just makes me want to squeeze them into little bitty pieces. happy pieces i mean, not broken ones. folks that have overcome a great deal, but don't make a great deal out of it. i've been lucky enough to find many heroes in my life and i plan to continue doing so.
